Welcome 🫶🏻 It's great to meet you!

At One Brave Step, I don’t just coach from theory, I coach from life. From school buses to boardrooms, I’ve lived the pivots, the setbacks, and the surprising comebacks. That’s why I’m passionate about helping others navigate their own turning points with honesty, heart, and real-life tools that actually work. Growth doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to start with one brave step.

Why I Do This Work
Step Into Change

I’ve spent decades figuring out what works and what doesn’t when life throws you curveballs. Through career shifts, raising kids, and now watching grandkids grow, I’ve learned that change doesn’t come with a manual. What people need is practical guidance, straight talk, and someone who’s been through it, not just talked about it. Around here, that’s what you’ll get. Real-life insight, honest support, and a whole lot of heart because growth isn’t just professional, it’s deeply personal.

Hi there,

If you’ve landed here, I’m guessing something in your life is shifting—or maybe you are.

Maybe you’re standing at a crossroads, navigating a transition, or simply trying to figure out what’s next. Maybe you're craving something deeper, more meaningful, or just more you. If so, I want you to know this: I see you. I’ve been you. And you’re not alone.

I’ve had to start over more times than I ever planned for. Some seasons knocked the wind out of me. Others were full of hope and wide-open roads. But every chapter, every high, every heartbreak, every hard-earned win, became part of my real-life education.

Now, after nearly five decades of working in leadership, coaching, entrepreneurship, and people development, I’ve learned what no textbook could teach. Now, I get to pass that hard-earned wisdom on to others who are ready to grow, shift, or start again.

I founded One Brave Step for you. Not because I have all the answers, but because I know what it feels like to live with questions, and still take the next step anyway.

I believe clarity doesn’t come before the leap… it often follows it. And sometimes, what we need most isn’t a roadmap—it’s someone willing to walk beside us while we figure it out. This work isn’t about quick fixes or perfect plans. It’s about real people navigating real life, with all its chaos and beauty.

I work with individuals, teams, and leaders who are ready to move forward with courage and intention, even when things feel unclear.

So if you’re here because you’re tired of second-guessing yourself... or you’re ready to rebuild, reconnect, or redefine what success looks like in this season, I want you to know that this space was built with you in mind.

I bring my heart, my story, and practical tools to the table, not to tell you what to do, but to help you discover what’s possible.

My wish for you is that you’ll leave here feeling a little less alone and a little more equipped to take your next brave step. And just know, whatever that next step looks like for you, I’m here, walking this journey right alongside you.

Thank you for visiting!

Stay brave,
Lisa

Stronger Together Starts Here

Whether it’s a team in transition, a group hitting a wall, or a leadership circle ready to level up, I help people work better—together. With decades of experience across operations, customer experience, and coaching, I offer practical strategies that build trust, boost communication, and create real momentum. Because the best teams don’t just work hard—they grow with intention.

Because Transitions Impact Everyone

Life transitions don’t just affect the individual—they ripple through families, relationships, and routines. Whether you’re navigating an empty nest, blending households, stepping into grandparenthood, or simply facing a new season of life, I help couples and families move forward with clarity, compassion, and a shared sense of direction. As a mom of three, Grammy to five (with one on the way!), and someone who’s remarried her first love, I know firsthand that change is rarely simple—but it can bring you closer when you move through it together.
